Training & Development

With currently up to 400 members, the CIF offers an annual training programme allowing members and non-members to appropriately manage their resources and training budgets far in advance.

The training offer includes a variety of courses of relevance to the industry. To name a few, concrete related courses; scaffolding; health and safety; first aid as well as land surveying. The majority of courses are one day to two day courses. This year, the training is offered in Swakopmund and Windhoek.

Registration fees include course materials, relevant certification as well as refreshments and lunch.

The CIF anticipates that a large number of trainees within the construction industry will receive training by the end of 2015. The CIF has approximately 15 courses scheduled for this year. This will not only ensure an appropriate transfer of skill but also that the industry will work towards maintaining and further enhancing high quality service levels within the industry and that CIF members are in a strong position to deliver on the promise as reflected in the CIF’s code of conduct.

Cancellation by Client:

The client refers to the company making the booking on behalf of their employee/s.

If the client has registered an employee for any of the courses offered by the Construction Industries Federation of Namibia (CIF) , and the client or the employee must cancel their registration, the client must notify the CIF at least 30 working days before the scheduled training, to ensure full reimbursement of the registration fee.

For any cancellation notice received between 20 and 29 days before the scheduled training, the fee assessed will be equal to 50 % (fifty per cent) of the full registration fee for the course, per delegate.
